Lovely Nameless


Hello

dear lovely

nameless.

I do not know your name

you don't know who I am

I'm glasses

that is all I am

to you

I am sure

glasses

and a weirdo

So I will try not to get my hopes up.

Because I heard you talking about some other guy

not too long ago

and I offered you free hugs in the dark

and for those you wouldn't go

I've asked to wear your flannels

and you must think me a creep

Your hair is brown

your face is round

and that is all 

I think

Your name's not there

I'm too afraid 

to say a word to you

evaded you I did

today

You notice not

I think.

Offered carrots were a plea

unwittingly of me

And with a smile you seemed to wonder but I was not 

too sly

I cannot know

and never will

what will become of 

this

But I see you

you don't see me

and end gives way to

mist.

 

 

Oh well.
